Ok, so while we were celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept 19) with this decadent cake, my co-workers heard a distinct thud...the sound of me falling off the wagon. In truth, this whole week has been a little too carb friendly. It started when I canned a batch of pizza sauce. The smell was so heavenly I had to try some. So I quick, whipped up a batch of bread sticks. Yummy! The next day, pizza sauce was still calling my name so a huge pepperoni pizza with homemade crust made it's way into the oven and my stomach. Blast!

Another setback, running errands every day at lunch and running around like a chicken with my head cut off caused the walking to take a back seat. So, guess what? Not my best week for eating, but that's life, right? I'm not upset about it and I'm not going to get discouraged, this is a life change I'm working on, not a hobby. And anyway, ya gotta live a little! :)Reality Check: +1 lb
